Lyndsey Jameson studied Fine Art at Sunderland University. This painting shows Lyndsey's younger brother, standing on the bank of the River Tees on a sunny day, with wet hair and skin coated by the dark silt of the river bank. The broken branch which he holds vertically, echoes his own proud posture and perhaps naively assumes ownership of this publicly owned land.
